Maybe it's just me but I feel like this episode was full of rehearsed moments, as if the queens had memorized their lines and were over-acting. I know reality tv isn't real, but this just didn't sit right with me. That said, I'm happy with the outcome of this challenge.
Fun movie. A lot more entertaining than what you would think a figure skating movie to be. Margot Robbie was great and Allison Janney was fantastic. I really enjoyed the music. I thought every time they break the fourth wall was a smart way to deal with conflicting point of views from the real life people and they were funny.
I got the feeling the writers hated people guessing their twists in season one, so they came up with as many bullshit twists as they could for this season, delivered in the most confusing ways possible.
Hello old friend.
Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Anthony Hopkins has re-enterd the game.
This episode was more ENGAGING to me. If you're only into the main story, then yeah, nothing happened, but you're missing good storytelling, world-building and expletive ninjas too. We got to see Shogun World!
Walking into the Japanese version of Sweetwater, with a version of Paint it Black did in a Japanese style was so amazing I can’t even describe. Great way to reference the same scene in the first episode. This show pays such good attention to detail I love it.
Maeve OP since this patch, please nerf.
Maeve skipped past Samurai and went straight to Jedi.
That was cuuuuute and totally lived up to the book! Also aaaah that author cameo <3
Lemme alone!!! I just wanna work peacefully and mind my business...Pew pew pew aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhh I'm in toooo deep ppphhhffrrrrttt
not even half an hour of this episode and i was screaming in my bedroom GIVE AMY ADAMS AN EMMY ALREADY
IF YOU THROW ANOTHER MOON AT ME I’M GONNA LOSE IT
A film that rewards on repeat viewings, this has great performances from everyone, in particular Byrne and Spacey, and a script that is brilliantly constructed. It may well be more remembered for its final resolution which works well no matter how many times the film is dissected, but the dynamics between the "suspects" are fun to watch, with each of them bringing a distinct persona to the film that is memorable. John Ottman's score is also wonderfully atmospheric. A modern classic
This looks promising! The cinematography seems impecable. Plus, we finally get to see another Gillian Flynn novel come to life.
Fuck the military, fuck cops, fuck them for scaring Karamo like that
i'm so happy that the queen I was rooting for since the beggining won! bob the drag SUPERSTAR yall!!!!!
Chi Chi slaaaayed that lip synch, hunny.
Disappointed but not surprised
BOB IS THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD, CROWN HER ALREADYY
Another stunning and thouroughly entertaining movie from Marvel Studios who continue to gain momentum with each successive film. Delivering something new and original all within the framework of the same genre and universe.
A coming of age film of sorts that sees T'Challa return to his native Wakanda following the events of Captain America: Civil War to deal with the pressures of the thrown and fulfill his potential as both warrior and king, T'Challa and Black Panther alike. Thus being an origin adventure without the obligatory origin story.
Wakanda itself is visually breathtaking and looks as spectacular as one can imagine.
Wakanda itself is an unofficial character in the film with a rich visual palette and identity. It's people, along with most visuals in the movie, are brightly coloured and looks like an.artists dream, as rich and colourful as the comics that spawned them.
All the principle and supporting cast bring it. There's hardly anybody that doesn't stand out or get a moment to shine in this deep ensemble, so much so that T'Challa himself is almost outdone in the movie by the performances of Michael B. Jordan (Erik Killmonger) and the female supporting characters who are so good, I'd be disappointed if they didn't at least cameo in Avengers: Infinity War in a few months.
Highly recommended for any fan of Marvel Studios' movies, Superhero movies or action adventures with hints of political.drama thrown in for good measure. Not to be missed.
A round of applause for Westworld! Awesome finale. I loved it a fantastic episode.
William: Please Logan, even though I'm engaged to your sister, please help me take my sex robot home with me.
Best episode so far. I pride myself on seeing most things coming in a series, but this episode blew my mind. I had no idea Bernard was one of them untill he said 'What door' near the end of the episode.
Oh Maeve's so very clever!!! <3 her!!
Anthony Hopkins got first dibs on the #MannequinChallenge on that scene alone.
Adverts made me doubt the film, didn't like the look of the Mandarin etc. But now that I've seen it..
Wow. Like seriously, wow. This was miles better than number 2, exceeded expectations by a shit tonne and even though there's only 3 I am totally content with saying this is one of the best Iron Man films I've ever seen.
Really well done, everything you expect to happen they turn it upside down and surprise you with raw Iron Man at its best. Loved this film, just really fucking well done.
A super hero villian who succeeds with their diabolical plan to destroy the world and ironically save it at the same time. WHAT? So much love for the creativity of this movie.
There is a special place in hell for people like Baby.
Holy fuck, that was the funniest episodes of a TV show I've seen in recent times.
I found this to be a disappointing movie. I understand everything in PedroPT's post, but it still seems to me that the religious themes are very superficial.. often obnoxious. The snakes & mazes were especially gimmicky.
All of the characters behaved in reckless and absurd ways. Loki lets snap judgements dictate all of his actions, breaks into basically every house in the movie, and randomly disregards possible leads while doggedly pursuing others. The police chief and him yell at each other constantly and thus encourage each other to act even more rashly (one hopes that this is not how actual police behave). Jackman's character immediately turns violent, psychopathic, and insulting at every opportunity, and worse, the movie seems to justify (or at least consider to be of ambiguous merit) vigilante torture as a means of obtaining information.
It is shocking to me that people believe this movie raises any serious moral questions or issues (whether about torture, vigilantism, or 'the individual and the institution'). As far as I can see, it does not; it has nothing significant whatever to say on these topics.
The connections between the different possibilities which Loki followed are very contrived; is there even a single piece of clue or information that they don't force to be valid and relevant at the end? Perhaps some people see that as a developed and intricate plot, but it makes me feel somewhat like rolling my eyes.
For all that the atmosphere and cinematography were praised, I was also unimpressed with them. Yes, much of it is dark, but I didn't find the use of light or darkness to be particularly meaningful. Maybe I just didn't get the style... I was hoping it would be more like the old german expressionism in use of light, but oh well. I think it would have benefited from some longer and wider shots, but I can't really pretend to know anything about cinematography.
As others, I'm a fan of Gyllenhaal, but I think it's a shame he does so many bad movies like this. His unique charisma and acting style are probably the only redeeming part of this mess.
